Adding various options ultimately makes it quite expensive.

I let my companions choose options freely without worrying about the price, and it ended up being about double the amount I initially booked. There was a foreign participant who wasn't very good at English. I overheard one staff member complaining to another, saying, "Their English is really bad," but that staff member's English was also broken. As soon as we went outside, the soles of two pairs of sandals came off, so it seems they don't check the equipment very well.

I didn't want to request a refund or a discount, but when I mentioned this at the time of return, there was no reaction at all. 値段を全く気にせず同行者に自由にオプションを選ばせていたら最初に予約した金額の倍ぐらいになっていました。
参加者に英語があまり得意でない外国の方がいました。ある店員の方が別の店員に「英語も全然ダメ」と愚痴を言っているのが聞こえましたが、その店員の英語が片言でした。
外に出てすぐに2人の草履の底が剥がれましたので、備品のチェックはあまりしていないようです。返金や減額を要求したいわけではありませんでしたが、返却時にそのことを伝えたところ、何の反応もありませんでした。

Just additions.

An additional 3,300 yen per person, bringing the total to about 10,000 yen (･･;)
I confirmed that this is indeed an additional charge.
The final result feels like this!
I wonder how shabby it would have been if I hadn't added anything.
I might need to prepare myself and make a reservation.一人3300が追加、追加でトータル約10000円に(･･;)
一応、追加にはなりますがーと確認あり
出来上がりは、こんなもんかって感じ！
追加しなかったら、どんだけみすぼらしいかったの
覚悟して予約必要かも

Kindly women who assisted to wear kimono, we had short time and couldn't walk around

It was fine even for elementary and middle school students.

I took two second-year junior high school students and one third-grade elementary school student, and at the Kyoto Tower store in front of Kyoto Station, there was a wide selection of kimonos, and it seems they were able to choose ones they liked. The staff's service was also good.中２二人、小3一人を連れて行きましたが、京都駅前京都タワー店では品揃えも多く、それぞれ気に入った着物を選べたみたいです。
店員さんの対応も良かったです。

I experienced this because a friend came from France. There were many foreigners as well. The service was good, and I was satisfied with the hair styling, but it was disappointing that there were only a few kimono options to choose from.フランスから友人が来たので体験しました。外国人も沢山いました。対応もよく、ヘアセットもしていただけて満足ですが、選べる着物が僅かだったのが残念です。

Kimono in Kyoto♪

There were many designs for both the kimono and the obi, and I was able to mix and match my favorites (*^_^*). The staff were all very pleasant, which was great! However, regarding the timing, I started choosing my kimono and getting dressed at 2 PM, and I had to return it by 6:30 PM, so I couldn't go far. I wish I had paid extra for an earlier time slot.

It turned out to be a wonderful trip to Kyoto. Thank you!着物、帯どちらも沢山のデザインがあり自分で好きなものを組み合わせて着ることができました(*^_^*)
スタッフの皆さんも感じが良くとても良かったです♪
しかし時間に関しては、14時から着物を選んだり着付けをして、18時半には返却だったのであまり遠くまで出かける事は出来ず、お金を出してでももう少し早い時間からにしておけばよかったと思いました。

素敵な京都旅行になりました。ありがとうございました！

Kimono rental, hairpin rental & free simple hair arrangement! Easily transform into traditional attire in front of the station at the Kyoto Tower store by Kyoto Kimono Rental Wargo.

The plan included kimono dressing and hair arrangement, along with the rental of hairpins, bags, and sandals. After arriving at 9 AM, everything was done smoothly and efficiently, allowing us to leave the shop just 45 minutes later without any waiting time. Although shawls were available for an additional fee, it wasn't that cold, so we didn't rent one. We only needed to return everything by 6:30 PM, and they also took care of our bags and shoes, making it a very good deal.着付とヘアアレンジ。かんざし、バッグ、草履の貸出がついたプランでした。朝9時に到着後スムーズに手際よくやっていただき、待ち時間もロスもなく到着後45分後には店を出ることが出来ました。ショールなどは別料金でしたが、それほど寒くなくて借りませんでした。18時半までに返却すればよく、荷物や靴は預かってもらえるので、とてもお得でした。

The kimono is nice, and the staff can be good depending on the person.

I made a reservation through Veltra because I could choose from various types of kimonos. I intended to upgrade by paying the difference from the start, but there was no pushy sales pitch, which was nice. There were so many people with reservations that I was turned away when I arrived too early, so it's best to arrive five minutes before your appointment.

Some of the staff who helped with dressing were friendly and created a good atmosphere, while the person who styled my hair seemed to be angry the whole time and didn't smile at all. For some reason, I felt like I had to be careful around her... I wondered if the service would be different if I didn't choose any options and just went with the basic package. My friend, on the other hand, had a pleasant experience with her dresser and hairstylist, which made her feel more at ease. 色々な種類のお着物を選べることもあってベルトラさんから予約しました。
最初から差額払ってグレードアップするつもりでしたが、勧誘はなくあっさり。
予約の人いっぱいで早く着いてしまったら入店断られたので5分前は徹底です。

It was disappointing that the reservation site indicated it would include photos (for free), but there was no recognition of this at the store on the day. When selecting accessories, it was unclear which items incurred additional charges. Although there were some minor issues, I had a valuable experience.予約サイトでは、写真付き(無料)になっていたが
当日お店での認識は無かったのが残念でした。
小物を選ぶ時追加料金品との区分けが不明だった。

Not only did they provide kimono dressing, but they also included hair styling, hairpins, bags, and sandals. They even offered a photo shoot, and as long as you returned everything by the evening, it felt like a great deal. Above all, the dressing was done very well, and my kimono didn't come undone at all.着物の着付けだけでなく髪のセットとかんざし、バッグ、草履全て付いていて、写真撮影もしていただき返却も夕方までに返せば良いとのことだったのでお得感満載だと思います。なにより着付けが上手でした。着崩れしませんでした。
